Post of a dream I had about chapter 3's release. It was pretty fuckin' crazy but fortunately I remember lots of details about it and what happened in it as well as footage and funny moments of weird shit, and shit I saw on Twitter about it as well in my dream? Strap in.
Okay so I remember it opening in the ruins which makes sense, but instead of it being purple like the normal ruins, it's dimly lit like the room you fall on the flowers in? And rather than arriving on the flowerbed and going right, you start on an altar... and go down and left.
It was actually the door to leave the ruins where you fought Toriel I believe now that I recall, but when you walked left as if to go upstairs, a song begins playing (I talk about it later...) and you see pillars leading to a giant open space that looked like the promo art for undertale with Toriel.
Anyways, you wake up and Susie is like confused if this is a dream, but plays along, commenting on how she might see Noelle there too. Depending on what route you took Noelle might actually show up, but I'll get to that in a bit. On Twitter in the dream I saw some spoilers.
Where you encounter the Dummy, it's replaced by the Mad Dummy, and you have to face them after Susie jokingly hits the dummy, not knowing someone's using it. Also, you rematch Lancer after it's revealed this place's fountain is made of pure darkness. Ralsei doesn't show up...
Also, it's weird because Lancer became a giant Jojo style badass??? I think Rouxles powers him up with the control crown or medieval ginger ale or almond milk or something silly. It was a lot like Pluto's rematch from Omori if you know how that goes. It was hilariously bad too.
Susie also busts literally everything in the perspective puzzle rooms just before Toriel's house. She just starts ripping shit out of walls and crawling in and solving it from inside. Also Frobbits start showing up and Kris does something sketchy offscreen... the Frobbits don't come back.
There's also a major detail I remember, but throughout the entire ruins, rather than an instrumental that plays... Toriel sings a version of 'My Castle Town' with lyrics. I don't remember what they said, but I think it resembled Lifelight from Smash Bros in the sense of symbolism.
Also, I remember that, because Susie messes with the puzzles, a "mommy-protected security system" goes off that Toriel set up because the ruins are dangerous and she didn't want Kris or Susie to get out without her help because of the danger... and they have to escape fire magic.
A version of Heartache plays during the chase sequence, and after that Susie begins to question whether they're in the dark world for real or not, and you can affirm or deny it. Also, it's revealed that the festival is occurring, and Toriel is hosting "her house of horrors,"
Toriel didn't understand that you were responsible for the fountain, but it comes from where you begin in Undertale. She thinks you set it up, and thanks you for the fun attraction, but calls it dangerous, and realizes you did this. This shocks Susie, but your route dictates this.
If you chose to commit to Snowgrave, Susie realizes that you also probably killed Berdly, and either Toriel and Susie or just Toriel engages based on your route, but if Susie and Toriel fight you, you have to survive until Noelle comes and saves you, in which she freezes Toriel.
Susie would ask what she's doing, but rather than her dialogue box having any text, it's like that one meme of Mr. Incredible's face, and whether you 'know' or not. I'll be attempting to recreate Noelle's expression, but it terrified me. I don't know what happens after this.
Also to clarify it seems like the door staying open in the light world leading to the dark world as well as Toriel hosting her house as a "house of horrors" was pre-planned, hence why Noelle shows up, figuring Susie was in there. Toriel uses Asgore's belongings she took in the divorce as the 'horror'.
Also I wasn't sure what year it was, but a trailer was released with it detailing the footage of it I saw, which confused me, but it actually released on 10/18, and I think it was of 2021? Everyone was shocked at its speedy release, but it didn't feel real, and I wish it was real.
Also, side note, the first shot of the ruins with that undertale promo shot was actually where the fountain was, and Toriel was there serenading its "protector" which is gone by when you arrive. Flower? Knight? Mike? Gaster? Who knows, neither do we, but that's all I know.
Feel free to AMA on the details, I dream vividly and if you care I might recall details I was unsure of, but with the popularity of the salt route and prunsel that's the only reason I felt compelled to share this. I hope of you see this you found it entertaining.
